📋How to Activate Amiibo
Inviting Villagers to Campsite (Cards Only)
Unlock the Feature
You must first upgrade the Resident Services tent into a building. Talk to Tom Nook and set up your campsite. After your first random camper visits, the amiibo option will be unlocked.
Go to the Terminal
Head to the Nook Stop terminal (the ATM-like machine in the corner of Resident Services).
Select "Invite amiibo camper"
Interact with the terminal and choose the "Invite amiibo camper" option.
Scan Your Amiibo Card
When prompted with "Touch an amiibo", place your amiibo card on the NFC touchpoint. Note: Only cards work - figures cannot invite villagers to campsite.
Visit & Invite
The villager will appear at your campsite the next day. You need to invite them 3 times (over 3 days) and craft a DIY item each visit before they agree to move in.
Harvey's Island Photopia (Figures & Cards)
Meet Harvey
After a few days of playing, Harvey the hippie dog will randomly appear on your island. Talk to him and he'll invite you to his island.
Fly to Harvey's Island
Go to the airport and select Harvey's Island. The flight is free - no Nook Miles required.
Enter the Studio
Enter Harvey's house to access the photo studio. You can set up scenes with furniture, change lighting, and position characters.
Scan Amiibo
Use the in-game amiibo scanning option to invite characters into your photo scenes. Both amiibo figures and cards work here.
Unlock Posters
After scanning any amiibo on Harvey's Island, that character's poster becomes available for purchase at the Nook Stop terminal.
